Rails - Jun 2006 - getting form values using link_to_remote

I have this as part of an .rhtml page:

<%= javascript_include_tag "prototype" %>
<%= form_tag :controller => ''reallist'', :action =>
''addnewuser''%>
	email:<br />
	<%= text_field_tag :email, nil, :size => ''14''
%><br />
	<div id=''nameStatus''>

	</div>
	<%= link_to_remote "check name availability", :update =>
"nameStatus",
	    :url => { :action => "checkname"} %>
	<br />
	password:<br />
	<input type=''password'' name=''pass1''
size=14><br />
	retype password:<br />
	<input type=''password'' name=''pass2''
size=14>
</form>

my question: can I get link_to_remote to send a value from the form to 
the server for evaluation? In the present example, I''m trying to check 
if a user''s choice of name is already in use. There''s no need
to send
the entire form if link_to_remote can deal with it....
